Civil 3D 2011 and ArcSDE Connections

[itr0045]

I have yet to be able to connect to our ArcSDE database using 2011. In 2009 and 2010 Civil 3D I had to move 3.dll files from my ESRI directory to the FDO/bin directory for Civil 3D. This immediately allowed for a connection using CAD's Data Connect. I assumed this was the case with 2011 however I am learning that it is not. Has anyone figured this one out yet?

64 bit or 32 bit OS, what version of SDE?
If your workstation is 4 bit then you need the 64 bit dll files. 2011
supports SDE 9.3.1 versions.

I had the same problem and posted it over at the Map 3D newsgroup. Just
look it up and I explain how I got it to work.

Murph... I figured as much. I am running 64 bit Civil 2011 and 32 bit ArcMap 9.3. Thanks for all the fast replies.

I have C3D 2010, what .dll files do I need to establish a ArcSDE connection and where can I get them? Thanks

Depends on the 32 or 64 bit system you may have. Take a look at this thread.
